‘Smooth’ Florida tight end DeAndre Goolsby getting NFL notice

It’s better he didn’t get drafted....now he gets to pick his landing spot. I expect big things from him in Detroit!

Well, you’re a moron, so your expectations don’t amount to much.

Who knows how he will respond if he gets actual coaching? I don’t think it’s fair to bag on the guy when everyone on this board unanimously hails Greg Nord as probably the worst position coach we’ve ever seen at UF. Plus his OC was Nuss, his HC was Mac and there was only a brief hope at QB for about 6 games in 3 years. And he had crappy S&C coaching, too.

Maybe he’ll make the practice squad. But he’s undersized, slow and had a weak bench press compared to other TEs in this class so I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets cut. He’s got his shot and I wish him well.

Goolsby will be drafted unless injury or character issues come up. That is a fact.

I like Goolsby. It's possible he could make a team somewhere. The majority of my opinion on the draft had to do with the coaching staff, not him. That coaching staff gave most of the players ZERO chance to succeed, and it's a criminal act. The TE's were totally screwed.

Mac ruined lives and ran into the night with millions.

El oh el. Whatever you say MJM.

You could say coaching staff ruined him, but I'd say Franks. The guy will not throw over the middle. Goolsby had 277 yards in 2015 and 350 yards in 2016. If he improves on that just a tad (400 yds) he gets drafted. Instead, he bombed last season with a whopping 105 yards. No one gets drafted looking like that.

Goolsby was rarely on the field, mostly because he couldn't block. Plenty of kids who play in option offenses and have no stats get drafted if they show good hands in their workouts and have good blocking film. This is on him, mostly though obviously having Nord as a position coach is approximately the same as having no one

Rethinking my post, you are probably right. The biggest red flag was not even being invited to the combine. Not being able to block doesn't mean much. In today's nfl, you are either a move te or blocking te. I've seen plenty of nfl te's who can't even get in a guys way. Jordan Reed is still like that. Goolsby will get his shot. I wish the guy the best.

Goolsby signed with the jags. Based on the roster, he has a shot to make the team. They are looking for a move tight end.

If you look at Franks' high school tape he threw over the middle. That was something the coaching staff did.

Franks wasn't ready to play, no doubt, but that's on the staff too though.

The fact he couldn’t even make it to training camp with Detroit isn’t a great sign.

He was cut for LB Trevor Bates. Patrica and Freeny coached him in New England. Understandable move having more to do with Bates being a known commodity to the coaching staff. Goolsby is an undrafted rookie FA. He won't get any breaks until he proves himself on the field if he gets the chance.
